was no use. The Browns went in and
slashed away and scored six runs be-

WON BY BALTIMORE.
BROOKLYN, Sept. 1.-THE game
scheduled to be played at Baltimore was
played at Washington park to-day. 1t
proved to be an unintereSting contest.
The home team felded very poorly and
batted as though afraid of the bali. The
Baitimores fielded in first-class style
and batted well when hits were of bene-
fit. All their seven hits were clean.
BrO0klyn'S hits were scattered, and on
several occasions when hitwould have
been valuable it was lacking. The battery
work on both sides was good. Mr.. Sui
Ivan was little off in some of his de-
cisions, but generally he did well. At
